Custom Features To Consider

The visual effects created by varying edge pools, trick the eye into thinking the pool is simply vanishing into the horizon, meshing with the surrounding landscape, or flowing alongside the natural outdoor living space.
A sleek and ample tanning ledge offers a luxurious place to lounge and relax while still enjoying the refreshing retreat of your swimming pool. Designed to be as long or wide as you prefer, a tanning ledge extends into the pool without being fully submersive and is the ideal relaxation space for your family.
Fire features, outdoor fireplaces and firepits are the dramatic focal point for your swimming pool and outdoor living space. Their stunning features lend an added dimension of warmth and comfort while serving as a natural gathering place.
The soothing sounds and visually pleasing waterfalls and bubbling fountains bring a level of calm and elegance to your outdoor environment.

The cost of a custom swimming pool depends on the pool size, materials, and features you include such as spas, infinity edges, tanning ledges, lighting, fire features, fountains, and waterfalls. There are unique challenges to every property and factors such as soil conditions, permitting, lot size and weather can increase the overall budget.

An advantage that we offer at Boyce Design + Build is that we discuss the costs of the project from the first step of the design and develop a detailed budget for each project component so that we are able to manage our client’s expectations. We handle all aspects of the design, estimating, permitting, construction, finish, and product selections and by keeping all of our services in-house, clients deal with only one firm from start to finish.

At Boyce Design + Build, our custom inground swimming pools average from $75,000 to $400,000.

The best time to start building a custom swimming pool in Atlanta is during the fall or winter months. Scheduling your pool project in the off-season helps avoid spring and summer backlogs and often means quicker permitting and construction times. Georgia’s mild winters allow us to build nearly year-round, so planning early gives you the best chance to enjoy your pool by the time warmer weather arrives.
Yes, a well-designed and professionally built swimming pool can increase the value of your home, especially in the greater Atlanta area where outdoor living is a major selling point. Custom pools that are integrated with outdoor kitchens, covered patios, or landscape design often enhance curb appeal and attract buyers looking for luxury amenities.

Custom inground pools require regular maintenance to stay clean, safe, and functional. This includes:

  • Weekly cleaning (skimming, brushing, vacuuming)
  • Balancing chemicals (pH, chlorine, alkalinity)
  • Equipment checks (filters, pumps, heaters)
  • Seasonal opening/closing procedures
  • Boyce Design + Build can recommend trusted local area pool service professionals or incorporate smart automation systems that make pool care easier than ever.
Absolutely. Many properties in metro Atlanta feature sloped or uneven terrain, and our team at Boyce Design + Build has extensive experience designing custom pools on challenging lots. We use retaining walls, terracing, and elevation changes to turn slope challenges into stunning design opportunities that complement your landscape.
In Georgia, building a custom swimming pool typically requires permits for grading, construction, electrical work, plumbing, and sometimes erosion control. At Boyce Design + Build, we handle the entire permitting process in-house, navigating city or county regulations across the greater Atlanta area to ensure compliance and a smooth construction timeline.

Yes, custom pools are a great investment in Georgia due to the long swimming season. Atlanta’s warm climate allows pool owners to enjoy their outdoor space from early spring through late fall and with heated options, even year-round. Investing in a pool designed to complement your lifestyle and landscape also adds value to your home and enhances your outdoor living.
Many Atlanta-area neighborhoods and subdivisions do require HOA approval for major outdoor construction projects, including swimming pools. At Boyce Design + Build, we assist clients with the documentation and plans needed to submit to their HOA and ensure everything meets local design guidelines and community standards.
In metro Atlanta, popular pool styles include modern geometric pools, freeform lagoon-style pools, and classic rectangular lap pools. Because of the variety in lot sizes, soil conditions, and home architecture, we custom design each pool to suit the property whether you have a small urban backyard in Virginia-Highlands or a large estate in Milton.
